According to Spanish newspaper El Pais, Manchester City are interested in Real Madrid winger Vinicius, and Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has approached Vinicius’ agent. The “Post” believes that the unsuccessful introduction of Haaland led Manchester City to turn to buy Vinicius.
Vinicius, 21, joined Real Madrid in the summer of 2018 for a fee of 46 million euros. In the first three seasons, Vinicius scored few goals for Real Madrid, but this season Vinicius ushered in a big explosion. So far, he has played 29 times for Real Madrid in various competitions, scoring 15 goals and 9 assists. The main winger in the Real Madrid team.
However, Real Madrid intends to introduce French winger Mbappe and Norwegian striker Haaland this summer, both of whom are currently the most promising future striker superstar candidates in European football. If Mbappe and Haaland join at the same time, coupled with the old and strong Benzema, Vinicius may lose the main position he has just established, which may make Vinicius consider a transfer.
“El Pais” revealed that Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has contacted Vinicius’ agent to initially discuss the possibility of the player’s move to Manchester City this summer. Manchester City wanted to bring in a new striker last summer, with Kane as their preferred target, but Spurs insisted. Manchester City later considered buying Haaland, but Haaland himself prefers to play in Real Madrid. In addition, Manchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and other giants also sent him invitations, while Manchester City is not dominant in the competition.
The “Post” pointed out that it was precisely because the introduction of Haaland was not smooth that Manchester City turned to Vinicius as an alternative target for striker signings. Vinicius’ contract with Real Madrid expires in 2024, and he has been hoping to get a new contract with better treatment, reflecting his great contribution to the team this season. Florentino, the president of Real Madrid, also expressed his willingness to renew his contract with Vinicius.
The “Mirror” warned that Real Madrid do not let the Robinho incident repeat itself. In 2008, Robinho asked Real Madrid to renew a new contract with better treatment, but Real Madrid was unwilling to meet his request, but instead wanted to exchange Robinho and Manchester United for Ronaldo, which angered Robinho. After that, Robinho publicly stated that he wanted to leave Real Madrid. In the end, Real Madrid had to sell Robinho to Manchester City, and Real Madrid failed to sign Cristiano Ronaldo in the summer of 2008, and it was not until the summer of 2009 that Cristiano Ronaldo was introduced.
Today, Vinicius and Robinho are in a similar situation back then. They have also become the main force of Real Madrid, and they also hope to renew their contracts to improve their treatment, but the Real Madrid club is also considering signing more famous stars. If Real Madrid mishandles it, Vinicius may, like Robinho, feel underappreciated by the team and consider a move away.Return to Sohu, see more
